Recycling Information

Organics Recycling: In 2016, District 10 opened an organics recycling drop-off site in Como Park, on Beulah Ave. just north of the Humane Society. This is a cooperative project with Ramsey County, Saint Paul Parks and Recreation, Saint Paul Public Works, and the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board. Unlike other county sites, the Como Park site is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for your convenience.

To help you recycle your food scraps and other household organics waste, you can pick up kitchen starter kits and compostable bags at our office in the Historic Streetcar Station, 1224 N. Lexington Parkway, at the northeast corner of Lexington and Horton. (Enter the parking lot from Horton, just east of Lexington).

We staff the station each Sunday from May-September, then the first Sunday of each month from October-April. Hours are noon-4 p.m. If that doesn't work in your schedule, call us to make an appointment during the week: 651-644-3889. If that doesn't work, BPI-certified compostable bags are increasingly available at retail stores. A list of brands and stores in Minnesota is available online.

Curbside Recycling: The City of Saint Paul contracts with Eureka Recycling, which is a local nonprofit, to recycle paper, many plastics, cans, and fabrics. Beginning in January 2017, recycling in District 10 converted from curbside pickup using bins to alley pickup using wheeled carts. Recycling day in District 10 is Friday; carts should be in their pickup location by 7 a.m. (For most homes, pickup is in your alley; however, for some homes, pickup is still curbside.) All residents received a 64-gallon cart. If you want to swap that for a larger, 95-gallon cart or a smaller, 32-gallon cart, call Eureka at 651-222-7678. If you have any questions about your recycling schedule or missed pickups, please call Eureka Recycling's Zero Waste Hotline at 651-222-SORT (7678) or visit www.eurekarecycling.org.

Citywide Dropoff Events: Saint Paul holds four citywide dropoff events in 2017 so residents can affordably and legally dispose of large items, electronics, construction debris, and other junk that does not fit or does not belong in the trash. Events are June 3 at Harding High School, June 24 at Washington Technoloogy Magnet School, Sept. 30 on Shepard Road, and Oct. 7 at the State Fairgrounds. All dropoff events are open to any city resident from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. See the city's All-In website for details, including what you can dispose of and what it will cost.
